California has opted not to comply with the Trump administration's proposed ban on transgender athletes participating on teams that match their gender identity. An email from Representative Kevin Kiley indicated that the California Department of Education notified the Federal Department of Education of this decision. The proposed agreement would have mandated stripping transgender athletes of their medals and required apologies to cisgender athletes who lost to those athletes. This decision may lead to legal action from the federal government against California.
